No. 118 overall pick Clemson WR Martavis Bryant will have a chance to start as a rookie, according to Steelers WR coach Richard Mann.

Bryant slipped down the board because he's a one-trick pony who needs a lot of technique work. That said, his trick is pretty neat: The 6-foot-4, 211-pound wideout ran a 4.42 forty at the combine and was one of the class' best deep threats. "He'll be a great weapon for us in the red zone. What he does really well is track the football. I'm surprised he lasted long," Mann said. Bryant, a fourth-rounder, should duke it out with Markus Wheaton and Lance Moore in camp for playing time.

The Steelers get the big receiver they badly needed. Bryant (6-foot-4, 211) played the second-fiddle deep threat role to Sammy Watkins in Clemson's Tajh Boyd-led offense, posting a 42/828/7 stat line as a junior before turning pro. He averaged over 22 yards per catch in college and clocked a scintillating 4.42 forty at February's Combine. Bryant's athleticism is legit, with a 39-inch vertical and 1.53 ten-yard split. He's drawn Chris Henry comparisons for his body type and straight-line speed combination. Bryant is a long, lanky field stretcher, but there is little on tape that suggests he'll be an asset at the first and second levels. He's something of a one-trick pony. Sat, May 10, 2014 01:08:00 PM

NFL Media draft analyst Mike Mayock believes the Chargers would be a good fit for Clemson WR Martavis Bryant in the second round.

Mayock said the Tigers' burner had "an awe-inspiring skill set" but also called him a "one-year wonder." The 6-foot-4, 211-pound wideout ran a 4.42 forty at the combine and is one of the draft's best deep threats. After catching lightning in a bottle with Keenan Allen in the second stanza last year, will San Diego swing for the fences on a prospect that needs plenty of coaching in the game's finer aspects? We'll see. Mayock added that the Seahawks also might be interested in Bryant in Round 2. Sun, May 4, 2014 08:19:00 PM

Clemson WR Martavis Bryant worked out for the New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons, St. Louis Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Aaron Wilson.

"Bryant has a combined total of 22 visits and private workouts, including visits with the Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions," Wilson wrote on Sunday. The 6-foot-4, 211-pound wideout could hear his name called in the second round of the draft. Mon, Apr 28, 2014 01:16:00 PM
